Can this be modified to show in the header between calendar and seach, like this:

Calendar - New Posts (45) - Search

45 is just an example, this would be post count.

Thanks

installed! this is a lovely mod. thanks Paul but there is only one thing unnecessary. If the user have no comments then it always shows the "you have no reput comments" how can we disable it. I think if the system only warns the user when a new comment come is much better. because navbar is a limited area and its not good to list unnecessary phrased there.

I'm happy with it as it is.

If you want to change it then you will need to edit the plugin "New Posts and Reputation (1)"

Change

PHP Code:


			
$vbulletin->userinfo['rcount'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['no_new_reputation'],$repcount['rcount']);

to

PHP Code:


			
$show['rcount'] = false;

I don't understand the question. The count is already reset when you visit the usercp to read them.

Hey Paul, nice hack, Is there a way to Deduct one from some one who is giving negative reputation so that it regulates unnecessary reps?

TheBlackPoet · #49 10-31-2006, 03:20 AM

thank you

Nice modification.

I already had in place your unread posts one. But I wanted a notification for new reputation comments. So, I installed this one, and just made the template edit for the rep comments part.

Works like a charm.

Thanks again!
